Instead of spamming bendies on 302, maybe the starters should consider deploying A24s on this short-trip service given its short distance. Also hear that 991 has an issue whereby many commuters crowd in the lower deck while there are plenty of seats on the upper deck, leaving some commuters unable to board and having to wait for the next bus. Hence, bendies would definitely and significantly help ease commuter flow amd convenience along this sector of the route. Beat that.
This new short trip service as well as its parent service seems like a nice candidate for the electric DDs.
When future Brickland MRT Station opens, 991C might be removed
yar true but its SMRT’s choice
LTA does the bus planning not SMRT
k…. why not start from Choa Chu Kang Int?
